Daughter of late Dora Akunyili, Njideka Crosby expecting her first child

Njideka Akunyili-Crosby, daughter of late NAFDAC Chairman and former Minister of Information, Dora Akunyili, is expecting her first child with American husband Justin Crosby.

In an interview with the Guardian UK, the Victoria Miro artist talked about impending motherhood, how she took her first art class at 16, her mother, Mean Girls at Yale University, her heroine Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, and the debt she owes Harlem's Studio Museum.

She made an interesting revelation about her late mother. Akunyili, then a poor lecturer at the University of Nigeria Nsukka, was diagnosed as needing major surgery and was given 12, 000 from a work insurance fund  to go to London and have treatment. But the London doctor said it was a misdiagnosis, so she gave the money back.

We wish her safe delivery and the legacy of her mom will never be forgotten, RIP Dora!
